Abstract: A metering assembly (10) includes a fluidic chip (300) and metering chambers (510). Selectable outlet valves (610, 620, 630) communicate with each metering chamber to provide a discrete dispensed volume. The valves may be commonly controlled and may be formed as multi-level valves. The valves may be grouped into common substrate valve clusters (600). Purge channels (540) communicate with the metering chambers and controlled purge valves (660) allow reverse flow wash fluid to wash the metering chamber. Pressure ports (330) are employed to actuate the valves. A method of dispensing a fluid from the fluidic chip includes a) selectively filling (or filling) the metering chambers with a selected fluid; and b) outputting (or selectively outputting) the fluid to output locations. The total output volume of fluid dispensed from each metering chamber may be accumulated. The process may be repeated until the accumulated volume equals the desired volume and may be repeated for another fluid from a plurality of different fluids. A microfluidic control apparatus (700, 900) can be used to control fluid flow. The apparatus includes a flexible membrane (704, 904) and a base (702, 902). A substrate having fluid ports (354a, 354b, 954) cooperates with the membrane. The apparatus can have a lip (702, 902) surrounding the membrane. The membrane can be disposed between relatively rigid layers (310, 350).

Inventor: VOESSING WALTER
IPC: G10L19/018

Abstract: Many watermarking systems make use of correlation for calculating a detection metric, which means that several reference patterns are generated at encoder side and one or more of them are embedded inside the content signal, dependent on the message to be embedded. To decode the embedded message, it is necessary to discover which reference pattern was embedded at encoder side. This is determined by correlating the known reference patterns with the content signal. A watermark detector decides, depending on the size of the correlation result values, whether or not a given pseudo-random sequence was embedded. However, this does not provide correct decisions if watermarked audio is emitted by a loudspeaker and then captured with a microphone. According to the invention, it is taken advantage of the received signal echoes instead of treating them as noise. The watermark detection result is improved by integrating the correlation values resulting from echoes into the main correlation peak, thereby using correlation result amplitude values located within a predetermined neighbourhood of a correlation result peak amplitude value and exceeding a predetermined threshold.

Abstract: The invention relates to the sampling of temporally changing amounts of charge (102) by receiving varying amounts of charge (102) varying as a function of time, transforming the varying amounts of charge received into a linear distribution pattern, sampling the linear distribution pattern at a plurality of discretely spaced sampling locations (104), and collecting the amounts of charge (102) located between two adjacent scanning locations, and further detecting the collected amounts of charges (102). A temporal sampling device for time-varying analog signals encompasses a transducer (100) in which the analog signals are converted into a corresponding electrical current, a time conversion element (103) in which the electronic charge packets (102) composing the current signal are transported in an electric field along a one-dimensional path, a fast charge-storing and accumulation mechanism with which the charge packets (102) on the one-dimensional path of the time conversion element (103) can all be stored simultaneously, so that their spatial relationship is retained, and a charge detection circuit (109) with which the stored charge packets (102) can be accessed individually and read out with an electronic circuit. In a preferred embodiment, all elements of the sampling device are monolithically integrated using a semiconductor process such as a commercially available CMOS process based on silicon. This makes it possible to provide one- and two-dimensional arrays of such sampling devices, forming line and image sensors.
